According to the Associated Press, North Dakota's House wants to make it illegal to block spaces meant for charging electric vehicles.
Representatives approved the bill 63-27 on Thursday.
The measure requires the space to be designated for electric vehicle charging. A vehicle in that space must be "connected for electric charging purposes."
A violation comes with a $50 fine.
The measure now goes to the Senate for consideration.
According to a recent report from IEN, a number of Tesla owners around the country are getting bullied at charging stations. It is a growing trend during which drivers of large trucks are intentionally parking in spaces reserved for Tesla charging stations. It’s a practice referred to as ICEing – borrowing the acronym from their Internal Combustion Engine-powered vehicles.
